The Royal Engineers Grave site marks the spot where eight Royal Engineers of the 177th Tunnelling Company and four attached infantrymen were killed in action underground during the defence of Ypres between November 1915 and August 1917.
The grave takes the form of a small enclosure with a Cross of Sacrifice bearing an inscription and the names of those buried.
There is a small grassed access path to this site which is unsuitable for vehicles. And muddy, the cemetery itself is located 500 metres along the Oude Kortrijkstraat on the right hand side of the road.
This is the smallest War Memorial site in Belgium.
